That’s what it always means, across industries.

I agree. Why ARE you doing that? It was just established the name is a coincidence. Are you going to incoherently double down by saying the author obviously meant “Kratos, the son of Pallas and Styx?”

I think in modern times when 99% of people say Kratos we know they mean Sony’s IP, and can be farely certain they have no knowledge of a lesser known character from Greek mythology.

Oxford says “terms” can be “words.”

Interesting idea but ‘milkshake duck’ is still specifically defined as a phrase when I look it up, which makes sense because it exactly fits the definition of a phrase and not the definition of a word.

Well that’s my point, if you say that any term or phrase that has 2 words is actually a word, then you’re saying any 3 or 4 or 100 word phrase that has a singular meaning is also a word. Since I’m the one saying that the vast majority of words are single words and not multiples, I’m gonna have to ask you what criteria…

Which also means that words which aren’t separated by spaces are unusual

Right, words are usually separated by spaces, which means necessarily “not always."

They’re still not meant to be the same character though.

If you’re going to correct someone so confidently, a five second Google would spare you a lot of embarrassment.

If the were 2 separate words, they’d be spelled ‘fire truck’ and ‘black bird’.

Two units of meaning can make a single word despite the space between the morphemes, and generally as time goes on words composed of two units that co-occur in conjunction like that will lose the space between them, as for example firetruck or blackbird.

All the words are made up and many of the things we say now would’ve been, for some long dead pendants, equally as deplorable.

I would actually argue you are a much worse person than the one saying you should make your own informed decisions.

Doom is my absolute favourite Marvel boi. He isn’t make-or-break in most decks but the ability to disperse 15 value over 3 lanes is incredibly useful, and he’s definitely won me a share of games.

I mean some societies have done that. “Fundamentally demolishing” an existing system down to the studs rarely works out all that well, especially for the poor bastards you are ostensibly doing it on behalf of.

I love Leader and he’s a cornerstone of my most played decks, but yeah that isn’t really a nerf.

it’s not because they woke up one morning and thought “We’re going to cover up the 12 year old for the Western release because it’s the right thing [...]” It’s just a calculation that people interested in the game won’t care about the change while some critics who probably won’t really play the game will nonetheless…

Guess you're damned then 

I just hate these kinds of responses. Just say the truth “we gotta cover these up so we don’t get age restricted or cancelled”. Don’t try to sell it as if it’s because the players want less revealing outfits, if you’re a fan of asian MMOs with an anime inspired character design you know what you’re getting into…
